I think the site looks good — easy to read and navigate. It is a really good idea to separate the free content from the subscriber-only content. Finding ways to monetize the Internet has been the major challenge for media companies. Clearly showing what content is for everyone and what content is only available by subscription is a good way to keep non-subscribers visiting the site while at the same time showing them what they are missing.

I congratulate ACT for going modern and, by that, providing easier access for commenting on events at the Capitol.

My concern that this growth may be a step to becoming another “corporate media” news source, who’s objectivity gets slanted by advertising revenues. I have noticed the recent cooperation with the Republic. I hope ACT doesn’t get caught in the corporate media vortex.

The Arizona Capitol Times has remained the only voice not afraid to inform the people of what is going on in our government, to take unpopular positions, or to publish unpopular or controversial positions. Keep it up.
